Our extensive genomic analysis and comparisons with non-raptor genomes identify common molecular signatures that underpin anatomical structure and sensory, muscle, circulatory, and respiratory systems related to a predatory lifestyle. Here, we report new genomes and transcriptomes for 20 species of birds, including 16 species of birds of prey, and high-quality reference genomes for the Eurasian eagle-owl ( Bubo bubo), oriental scops owl ( Otus sunia), eastern buzzard ( Buteo japonicus), and common kestrel ( Falco tinnunculus). Species of eagle, the golden eagle for being one of the largest species of eagle, and the martial eagle that has exceptionally powerful eyes.Birds of prey (raptors) are dominant apex predators in terrestrial communities, with hawks (Accipitriformes) and falcons (Falconiformes) hunting by day and owls (Strigiformes) hunting by night. South Nicobar serpent eagle which holds the distinction of being the smallest Some of the most famous eagle species include the Eagles are typically larger than other birds of prey with the Eagles have a wide range of habitat thatĮncompasses several nations such as the US, Papua New Guinea, Canada, andĪustralia. Due to their imposing presence,Įagles have been used as the national symbol in some countries such as the United States ( bald eagle), Mainly due to their large size and strength. EaglesĮagles are some of the famous raptors in the world Some of the most well-known raptors include eagles, owls, kites, and hawks. Apart from hunting prey, birds of prey may also rely on carrion as the source of food. Other common features include talons that enable them to grab their prey and later kill them. Raptors have some common characteristics such as their exceptionally keen eyesight which allows them to spot prey from far.
The word raptor has its roots in the Latin language from the word rapere which refers to taking an object by force.
Some of the most frequently located are the birds of prey which are often referred to as raptors. Birds are some of the most commonly spotted animals around the world as they can be found in most of the world's regions.
